Hurricane Sandy's Staten Island victims: 24 lives lost forever

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- It's been nearly four years since Hurricane Sandy tore through Staten Island, causing unparalleled destruction and claiming the lives of 24 residents -- more than in any other borough.

Some of the victims were found in their homes in Dongan Hills, Midland Beach, Oakwood Beach, Ocean Breeze and South Beach. Others died trying to escape as Sandy intensified. Still others were ripped from their families by the storm's surge.
